I have a tiscali email address ,which although 20 yrs old receives all communication.All except anything from Rovers.

Contacted Rovers and they responded that the email was undelivered, due to out of date email address.

However when I purchase tickets etc I get a confirmation of purchase.

Suggest the database for generic emails from Rovers is at fault.

Another to add to the general feeling that the incompetence is not just allied to football matters alone.

I have yet to renew - and the COVID impact is at the front of my mind. But again - this should have been part of the sales blurb from the club (i.e. if another lockdown - this is what will happen). They could even move to provide assurances for people who are concerned about coming back to the ground during the ongoing pandemic.

The apparent lack of planning and information coming from the club around Season Tickets to help sell them is poor.

Have emailed the club with similar concerns, no reply.

As an eternal optimist,  I am expecting that with obviously lower attendances, a more flexible package regarding TV coverage for all matches.However that would require Sky and EFL to be imaginative, so not holding up much hope.

The very least would be, if restriction were imposed then season ticket holders would have access to live matches as per last season at no extra cost.

For a club that have always said its important to get money in early. this could have been an additional early income stream, not sure of numbers of those Rovers overseas subscribers to ifollow, but even a low guestimate of 100 at 140 quid each is 14,000 extra in the kitty., most would have subscribed in July / early August last season

Ifollow subscription packages not available yet to all participating clubs.Presume as we are not in the Ifollow scheme, our packages will be available later.

Any indication of when we'll be able to purchase a season ticket? And how much?

Emailed the club no response as yet, presume they are hoping to sell season tickets  for actual attendance at Ewood, before releasing streaming prices.

In the event of further restrictions, would presume Rovers TV would be accessible as was Ifollow last season.

I asked Crooke yesterday he said he has been told by the club that they have chosen their preferred candidate and waiting for it to be signed off before announcing it

Any word on a new head of recruitment? Surely should be wrapped up by now. I wonder what's going on. Maybe they won't get anyone 

 

Strange set of circumstances .

Either, now, no requirement due to financial circumstances, or those circumstances have lead chosen candidate to withdraw.

Do players want to be waiting around for a contract?

If a competent CEO and Chief Accountant cannot hand on heart assure a player that an embargo will be lifted, then obviously they will look elsewhere.,The 64 million Dollar question is why were they so unsure of exiting an embargo.

How close to the wire were we, and how are we, long term, ever going to be a professionally cohesive unit both off field and on.

The whole set up reeks of complacency and a inevitability of our circumstances.

If the club had the confidence that the embargo would be lifted, then signings should have been lined up.

If a player had the confidence of a contract with a club that they had confidence in, then surely they would have waited.

All this points yet again to a amateurish approach from the Ewood hierarchy, never on the front foot.

Season ticket prices, cheap pitch re-furb,late kit issue.

Players in our squad who I think could play as a number 10 (inside forward). Armstrong, Chapman, Rothwell, McBride.

People pushing Mcbride as a potential addition to the squad. Personally I regard , Butterworth and Vale  ahead of him in performances and potential, however both have had their progress halted by injuries.

The link to Wyke is tenuous, however if true, this would prove Mowbray's scattergun approach to transfers, especially c/forwards playing as wingers.

Wyke right wing,Brereton left wing, and of course Gallagher overlapping full back.

Data in isolation is of no use, there is nothing better than seeing a player in real time ,, not a concocted video.

If a u-turn has come about through an inability to get their choice, then without a shadow of a doubt Mowbray would have known.

To continue in the post in those circumstances is not the "honourable" thing to do.

Personally the taps may  have been turned off as more pressing humanitarian needs in India take precedent.

Armstrong sale will keep us afloat for a short time.

Cannot understand any logical reason to delay any presumed major changes as anticipated by some on here.

However to presume logic in the case of BRFC is somewhat optimistic.

If the whole process of decision making, communication etc is having a detrimental effect on the situation at BRFC ,which most people agree with.

Then surely it is down to the senior employees of BRFC to demand a more professional and responsive process, and we know that will not happen.

The whole atmosphere reeks of complacency.

Wouldn't that have to be in a year's time? We've only just gone ahead with standard pitch refurbishments. Doesn't make sense to search for funding for that until next year I would have thought.

We have gone ahead with the standard refurbishment due to being unable to externally raise the £2 million required for a stitch pitch.

If there is any substance to the rumour, it's most likely the attempt to procure external funding to completely refurbish the Ewood and training ground pitches.

Wasn't there a rumour a year or so ago that they were looking to get a new investor on board? I'm sure I read something along those lines. I really hope there is something in it. They currently don't seem to realise or care that they are not too far away from a Premier League windfall were they to have promotion as a serious aim. A new investor might be able to get that through to them.

Any investor seriously thinking of any return on their money would be expecting PL football for an appreciable amount of time.

It isn't going to happen, even a one season term in PL would not create a windfall, sadly.

Jim Fryatt was the best I ever saw. Not that big but a monster in the air. He’d play for England if he could kick a ball.

Can still picture his header against Man City in the FA Cup.

All yesterday proved was, against poor sides who play openly, our counter-attacking style is to be admired.

However as seen in the latter stages of the season, after the false dawn, we still cannot break down sides who drop deep.

A plan B is required, which Mowbray has blatantly been unable to organise.

Big leap of faith to keep his as manager, still dining off Lg 1 promotion.

Just seen Derek Fazackerley in the Waddington Arms beer garden

.Looks as fit as a butchers dog, 69 years old.

My mind immediately switched to Ayala, oh dear, Mowbray Master Transfer 27.

This embargo situation could be the reason they won't sack him if the resultant pay offs and then recruitment costs are not in the P&S projection.

When he was making excuses for Ayala's injuries he said they were used to paying in teams who had a deep block,whereas he expects expansive football. Delusional 

 

It's becoming a farce.
